Does anyone know exactly how insulin pen devices are prescribed/chosen in the UK, US, spain or germany? I am particularly interested in the UK system but insight to any of the above would be useful.
Specifically, how do patients choose which device is best for them? Do they get to choose? Is it mainly on clinician/diabetes educator recommendation?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards
Charlie
 
Mine were suggested by the diabetes team, based on the type of insulin I am on. The manufacturer of the insulin makes the pens too. I can choose something different if I want, I have changed to a different type of needle and have changed to disposable pens for one type of insulin too. This might differ between PCTs though.
